How do you use curly braces in Java?

Java has a "feature" which allows you to omit curly brackets when writing if statements, for loops, or while loops containing only a single statement. You should never use this feature – always include curly brackets. The reason for this is because omitting curly brackets increases your chances of writing buggy code.

Are curly brackets necessary in Java?

Different programming languages have various ways to delineate the start and end points of a programming structure, such as a loop, method or conditional statement. For example, Java and C++ are often referred to as curly brace languages because curly braces are used to define the start and end of a code block.

The closest solution I can suggest is:

  1. Click on Eclipse IDE > Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors

  2. Then click on the link "whitespace characters" to specify what should be shown.

  3. Then enable tick box "Leading and Enclosed" for Tab only and leave the rest unchecked.

This is not perfect solution, but it might be useful.
